I am basically having the same issues. I can burn a CD but a DVD no. Keeps giving me a Media Error. Tried several Brand New Fuji DVD+R and all have the same error. Borrowed some DVD-R (Verbatim) to see if they work. I would be interested if anybody else is having issues. I know it worked in Tiger. But have never tried burning in Leopard until this weekend. I am also on 10.5.2..

My superdrive in my MBP will read a commercial DVD, or CD, but if I want to burn a blank disc, either DVD, or CD, it will eject it everytime. I put it in, and it spins around a few times, and then pops out. It doesn't give me any kind of error or warning. I'm taking it in to the Apple store on friday, cus I think the drive is just broken. This was a problem before leopard, but I haven't needed the burner too much, so I've just put it off. Not sure, but it could be that your drive is on its way to behaving like mine. Hope you find a fix.

Ok so i had the same thing happen and i tried everything. I tried reinstalling the os and repairing disk permissions and everything. And what ended up work was installing the latest security update and shuting down my computer for 48 hours, and unplugged it. that clear out all of the temp data. After that it reconfigures the laser in your superdrive and it worked just fine after that. I was so happy cause the guy at Mac Docs said i need a new super drive which cost $200 to replace and i was freaking out and now it works!! Good Luck!!!
